[ If you're outside today, you might notice a humming noise. If you stand there wondering where it came from, you may notice that there is a motorcycle approaching. If you see the motorcycle, you may also notice the hugeass sparkling dragon following it

*squinting at where the dragon was*

How unusual . . .

[whatyuusei]

[taking off his helmet. he hasn't noticed you yet.]

[runstowardsfire]

[that's okay--fading into the background is a skill]

*looks at the bike and it's rider now*

[whatyuusei]

[and the rider is looking back at you! is it staring contest time?]

[runstowardsfire]

*she can out-stare a cat but now is not the time*

. . . Did you just arrive with a dragon?

[whatyuusei]

That's right.

[holds up the card to show you]

[runstowardsfire]

*looking closer* But is it a real dragon or a spirit dragon?

[whatyuusei]

[considering you. you sound like you know ~things that most people don't]

That display was Solid Vision. A hologram.

[runstowardsfire]

[It's her job~]

And so it wouldn't have cast a shadow, would it? There was something vaguely dragon-related recently, but it wasn't a real solid dragon either.

[whatyuusei]

Solid Vision holograms do cast shadows, but are not tangible.

[dragon trouble? hmm.]

I just arrived.

[runstowardsfire]

It was a solstice event--something to do with the old legends where the sun disappears. There was a dragon imprinted in the cornfield, but no actual dragon.

[whatyuusei]

[frowns]

No one was hurt?

[runstowardsfire]

I don't think so . . . The challenges to get the sun back were mostly non-life-threatening.

[whatyuusei]

That's good.

[still a bit unsure what to make of you, lady, but...]

My name is Fudo Yuusei.

[runstowardsfire]

Tiffany Aching. I'm sorry, but you may be stuck in Camp for a while.

[Still wondering how an intangible dragon can cast a shadow . . .]

[whatyuusei]

[it's the future, who even knows]

Another has explained some of the situation.
